Welcome to My Blog!
Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for!
I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all!
This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here.
Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do!
Blessings!

Zoo Update. . .
Posted in School Things
Hello! :')
No, my computer is not yet behaving. Yes, I have gotten pictures. Yes, you will see them someday! *Ugh!*
Our chicks are now almost completely feathered. They fly out of their little 10 gallon brooder very easily now, so we have had to cover it with a towel so they can't fly out. We could have used a mesh lid, but that is known for hurting the quail when they "bonk" their heads on it as they fly up.
In other news. . .
We have been blessed by our lovely female mantis with a wonderful opportunity to witness her making an egg case. I managed to get a couple of pictures, but she didn't exactly pick a photogenic location for her ootheca. So, we probably have bad shots, but you could probably get the idea. It's pretty neat to watch a mantis doing this right on the other side of the glass. Perfect for seeing sort of into the egg case.
We'll do more on this later, but I thought you'd want to know.
Is it possible to be "over-blessed" with critters. I think we're there.
We'll be releasing our mantis soon so she can finish out her days in a reasonably natural way. We'll keep the ootheca to overwinter in our garage. Then we'll observe what happens in the spring. Let's hope it goes well.
Have a good day, friends. We're "off" today, so we've relaxed all day. :')
